Police discover stolen Picasso

Madrid - Spanish police discovered about 30 stolen art works, including a drawing by Pablo Picasso, in a van parked in an industrial estate near Madrid, a statement said on Monday.

Police were alerted when thieves offered one of the pieces, a sculpture by Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida, to a scrap metal dealer, a police statement said.

"This led investigators to the stolen works," the statement said.

Thieves stole 28 contemporary art works from a lorry in Madrid suburb Getafe on November 27. The art works belonged to galleries in Madrid and Barcelona and were on their way back from an exhibition in Germany.
